The Philanos Governance Committee is an advisor to the Board and makes recommendations regarding its due diligence function related to the fiduciary responsibilities; strategic planning; succession planning; development and operation of the board, committees and task forces; and performance of both individual board members and the board as a whole, ensuring effective governance of the Network. The committee reviews/revises the governing documents at least every two years, executes an annual board survey and recommends committee structure changes as needed. The committee also forecasts the leadership needs of the Board and its committees, conducting an annual nomination process for directors and officers. The number of participants on this Committee is defined by the Network’s bylaws and includes individuals from our affiliates who have been nominated.
